Early deals of the week: a $209.99 1TB SSD and more

We usually like to hold off on a deals-of-the-week post until Friday, but today, we're breaking with protocol to share some solid deals on SSDs at the 'Egg that expire soon. Without further ado:

SSDs still have a long ways to go to achieve price parity with mechanical storage, but products like the Mushkin Enhanced Reactor 1TB SSD are pushing the envelope. At $209.99 after promo code EMCEHEM85, this is the lowest price we've seen this MLC drive hit. 21 cents per gigabyte is nothing to sniff at for an MLC SSD.

In case 1TB is an embarassment of riches, the smaller Mushkin Enhanced ECO3 480GB SSD is also on sale. For $99.99 after promo code EMCEHEM84, the ECO3 serves up 480GB of TLC storage at a similar $/GB ratio as the Reactor.

Joining the party is the OCZ ARC 100 480GB SSD. Like the Reactor, this drive uses MLC memory. The Arc 100 is a budget favorite of ours thanks to its above-its-weight-class performance. It can be had for $109.99 after promo code EMCEHEM28.

If the SATA 6Gbps speeds of the drives above just aren't fast enough for you, you may want to consider theIntel 750 400GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 SSD. This MLC drive leverages PCIe and NVMe to deliver some truly blistering performance, but you'll need a dedicated PCIe slot for it. This drive is on sale for $299.99, no codes necessary.

The Mushkin deals expire on March 9 at 11:59 PM PT, and the sale on the OCZ and Intel drives expires a day later. If you spot any other intriguing deals at this point in the week, be sure to share them in the comments below.
